XTC - Your Dictionary lyrics

[XTC - Your Dictionary lyrics]

H-A T-E, is that how you spell
Love in your dictionary?
K-IC-K, pronounced as kind
F-U-C-K, is that how you spell
Friend in your dictionary?
Black on black, a guidebook for the blind

Well, now that I can see, my eyes won't weep
Now that I can hear, your song sounds cheap
Now that I can talk, all your corn I'll reap
I'm not so sure that Joey wed a virgin Mary
There are no words for
Me inside your dictionary

S-L-A-P, is that how you spell
Kiss in your dictionary?
C-O-L-D, pronounced as care s-H-I T
Is that how you spelt me in your dictionary?
Four-eyed fool, you led 'round everywhere

Well, now that I can see
It's the queens new clothes
Now that I can hear all your poison prose
Now that I can talk with my tongue unfroze
I'm not so sure of Santa
Or the buck-tooth fairy
There are no words for
Me inside your dictionary

Now your laughter has a hollow ring
But the hollow ring has no finger in
So let's close the book and let the day begin
And our marriage be undone
